Among downtown Chicago hotels, the Renaissance Blackstone stands out as one of the finest, most elegant historic hotels. Located on Michigan Avenue and 3 blocks from Lake Michigan, our distinguished guests find themselves in the most convenient location for visiting Chicago's celebrated sights. The Chicago Institute of Art, Navy Pier, Millennium Park, Shedd Aquarium, and the Field Museum are all within minutes of our Chicago hotel.
I forgot to mention that In addition to its
celebrity guests and its contributions to political parlance, the Blackstone has
a place in popular culture. Among its uses in cinema, it hosted the banquet
where Al Capone smashes a guest's head with a baseball bat in the Brian De Palma
film The Untouchables, a party in The Hudsucker Proxy, and Tom Cruise's pre-pool
tourney stay in The Color of Money.[26][29] Also, the 1996–2000 television
series Early Edition was set in this building, featuring a man who lives in the
hotel and receives the newspaper a day in advance.[24] During the 1980s and
1990s, the hotel was the home of Joe Segal's Jazz Showcase, the premiere Chicago
host of international jazz stars including Ahmad Jamal, Dizzy Gillespie, Jay
McShann, and Johnny Griffin, to name only a very few. (Wikipedia)
